Question
My son is 8 years old. He just started to say that he feels pain when drinking water, and it seems that his coughing is more severe. At the same time, he has a high fever that doesn’t go away. How should I treat his tonsillitis pain?
Answer
For treatment, you can first give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs based on their symptoms, or perform regional rinsing or spraying. You can also inject symptomatic medications into the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If the child has a particularly sore throat, you can also consider giving some painkillers. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some antipyretic drugs. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child stays warm and to avoid catching a cold to exacerbate the symptoms.
